Out of eighteen Jersey calves born on
Hon. H. L. Muldrow's dairy farm, Camp
Oaks in Oktibbeha county this fall, four
teen were heifers. Col. Muldrow is not
selling females, and will not, we under
stand, until his herd is large enough to
furnish one hundred COWS to the dairy. He
now owns the largest herd in Mississippi,
and probably in the South, and there is
not an animal in it that is not the repre-
sentative of a noted SHUTTER strain OF cat
tie. We can remember he had little faith
in Mississippi as grass and cattle country
but he changed his mind on that subject
years ago.-Aberdeen Examiner.
